A number of trays or ggAflfA are adapted to support the sheets B of' paper or other material a together, as hereinafter more fully described, "and the said supports are attaohedto a table- C mountedlto-turn on a central hollow pin D,-

I held on a; late D. connected by posts D? with;

a base E astened to the floor'or other foun dation. As illustrated in the drawings, the

A i supports A and-A are located diametrically opposite each other and at right aniies to. the supports A ,A likewise disposed ametrically opposite ,each other. gThe supports A, A, A, A are ada ted to pass successively under the opposite y arranged paste boxesF and F, adapted to contain paste or a like adapted to be'pasted atented June 18, 1907.

' hesive substance, and the saidpaste boxes are provided their bottoms with sets of apertures F disposed-according to a predetermined design, that is, according to the configuration of the article to be produced. The paste boxes F and F are attached to a crossbar F secured to the upper end of the pin D, so. as to hold the paste boxes in the desired osition abo've a pair of oppositely dispose supports A, A or A, A

Into the paste boxes F and F extend sets of plungers G and G registering with the apertures F? and ada 'ted to pass through the same and carry a on their bottoms, and to: eposit this paste onto the uppermost sheetB in the corresponding supports A, A or A, A The sets of plungers G, G, are securedjat their upper ends, and outside of vthe paste boxes F, F, to cross heads G (1: connected with each other by a cross bar H ada ted tobemoved up and down, so asto lift t e sets of'plungers G, G w-sufiiciently high that their bottoms pass above the. apertures FF, toallow the thick gas e to pass into and through the apertures 2 It is understood that the paste is sufiiciently thick not to lpass, or drop out of the apertures F but -W en the plungers G, G are moved downwardthey carry along a thin disk of the aste contained-in each aperture, and this t' disk offpaste is delivered by the plun er t itheytop c the sheets B su ported on t e corres onding supports A, a 2 -or A, A respectiv l Now, by-reference to the drawin s,it be'seen that whenthe supports A, g I the paste boxes F, F,f.then' the other two sup orts A, March position for .lreceiving eac a sheet 13' by anto'perator seated in front of-the corres onding'sup'ports A, A". Now when the :ta 1e 1"at.;the} next operation is iiven afquarter then the sup orts A, 2 [pass in'topasting" os tlon under t e paste boxes F, F while t e supportfs A, A pass into a sheet -receiyingposition, that is, pass in front ofthe -o Iterator-ate permit the latter to place; a news 'Get on' top of the uppermost sheet already in-position'on the said supports and in contact with the'pa'ste previously deposited on the uppermost sheet by the sets of heads G, G aremounted to slide on guide sufficient paste at pins F, F attached to the paste boxes F and F, respectively, and the said cross heads G ranged in a casing D ,clines of the are connected with each other by a cross bar H provided with downwardly extending rods H mounted to slide in bearings F attached to or formed on the cross bar F previously referred to. On the lower ends of the rods H are journaled friction rollers H traveling on an annular cam I secured to or formed on top of the table C, so that when a quarter turn is given to the table C then the friction rollers H travel up the inclines of the cam I, and when the quarter position is reached, then the friction rollers H drop off the upper ends of the inclines back into the lowermost osition. Nowduring the upward travelin of the-friction rollers H on the incam I, the rods H, bar H and cross heads G G are lifted to raise the plungers G to the position shown in 3, and when the friction rollers H drop downward then the plungers G, G pass in a'like direction, and in doing so, carry some of the paste down onto the sheets B held on the corres onding set of supports A, A v or A, A

11 order to give a preliminary raising to the sets of plungers G, G after they have deposited the paste onto the sheets B, to allow turning the table 0, the following arrangement is made: The cross bar I-I 1's engaged by the reduced upper-end J of a rod J,

mounted to slide in the hollow pin D and engaged'at its lower end by a treadle K under the control of one of the operators seated in front of one of the supports, 1, the support A Now when the operator presses the treadle K, the rod J is lifted and with it the cross bar H and the sets of plungers G, G, to raise the lattersuificiently high above the sheets B and the supports A, A or to allow convenient turning of the table 0 without the supports striking against the lower ends of the plungers G, G. After a quarter turn is given to the table C, the latter is locked automatically in place, and for this purpose a locking bolt L is provided (see Fig. 2), mounted to slide'in a suitable hear ing arranged on the late D and adapted to engage a recess or a eeper C formed in the under side of the table 0. A spring L arpresses the bolt L so as to snap the latter into enga ement with the recess 0, whenever the tab e 0 reaches the end of its turning position. The casing D is preferably formed or secured to the under side of the plate I), as lainly indicated in Fig. 2. The lower end 0 the bolt L is engaged by one end of a lever N fulcrumed on the plate D and adapted to be enga ed at its other end by a collar'J secured on t e rod J, so that when the operator presses the treadle K and thereby lifts'the rod J then the collar J imparts a swinging motion to the lever N, whereby the locking bolt L is pulled downward and consequently withas shown in Fig.

Patent drawn from the recess or keeper C, to unlock the table 0 and to allow turning of the same for the purpose previously described.

The sets of plungers G, G may be arranged in such a manner that one set applies paste to the sheets B near the outer edges thereof,

while the other set applies paste to the sheets at or near the centers thereof, so that the sheets pasted readil form easily opening ornaments such as be ls, festoons, lamp shades and the like.

It is understood that the sheets B,--after being pasted together, are stamped or out out to give the desired shape to theconnected sheets, as indicated in dotted lines in Figs 4 and 5, so that several ornaments are produced from one set of connected sheets B.

In using the device, the operators on opposite sides of the machine place single sheets on top of the previous one on the corresponding supports A, A 01 A, A and then the operator presses the treadle K to unlock the table 0 and to raise the plungers G and G out of engagement with the sheets and free of the corresponding supports; The oper ator then gives a quarter turn to the table 0 and releases the treadle K, so that the plungers G, G are raised and then drop, to carry the paste to the sheets B on the corresponding supports, and while this takes place, the operators again place the sheets B on the sheets held on the supports in front of them, after which the above described operation is repeated. Now it is evident that whenever a support comes in front of an operator it contains a sheet provided on its top surface with paste, and consequently when the new sheetis placed on top of the pasted one, then the two sheets are united. As any desired number of such sheets are placed successively one on top of the other and placed together in the manner described, it is evident that a large number of such sheets can be readily pasted in a comparatively short time. i

Although I have described the table 0 as intermittently turned by hand, it isevident that suitable mechanism may be provided for turning the table 0 intermittently by power.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters 1. A pasting machine provided with a paste box for containing paste, and'having 1ts bottom provided with an aperture, a cross head above the said paste box, and provided with a plunger extending into the said box and reglstering with the aperture, a plurality of supports for the sheets to. be pasted, a table on which the supports are carried, said table being adapted to pass the supports successively into pasting position under the said paste box, for the plunger to deliver the paste to the sheet, and means whereby the movement of the table may elevate the plunger to raise the lower end of the same into the paste and to permit the supports to pass under the bottom of the plunger.
